Colvin family : ウィキペディア英語版 | Colvin family
The Colvin family, for the purposes of this article, are that group of people descended from James Colvin (born 1768), a merchant trading between London and Calcutta during the East India Company. This Anglo-Indian family was intimately involved with the British Raj, first as traders and then as administrators and soldiers. Their descendants continued in service to the British Empire and later in some of its constituent countries, e.g. one was an Australian admiral. ==Bazett David Colvin== Bazett David Colvin (1805–1871)〔(ONDB article on Sidney )〕 was the eldest son of James. In 1847 he inherited his father's estate at The Grove, Little Bealing, near Ipswich,〔(Village history )〕 which thus became the childhood home of his son Sidney Colvin (1845–1927),〔''The Times'' obituary on Wikisource.〕 who grew up to be a critic, curator, and great friend of Robert Louis Stevenson.
